Packers signed Alabama LB Adrian Hubbard.

Hubbard (6-foot-5 7/8, 257) looks the part getting off the bus, but was a big disappointment in Tuscaloosa, managing 17 career tackles for loss and nine sacks in three seasons. He played strong-side outside linebacker in Nick Saban's 3-4. At the Combine, Hubbard ran 4.69 with a 38 1/2-inch vertical and 9-foot-9 broad jump. Hubbard has starting-caliber athletic traits, but isn't an explosive edge rusher, lacks strength, and technical flaws held him back throughout college. He's a project who may have to gain weight and convert into more of a line-of-scrimmage player to pan out. Sun, May 11, 2014 01:02:00 PM

The details of the surgery aren't clear, but it sounds like it was more of a clean-up procedure. Branch inked a three-year, $24 million deal last March after producing 5.5 sacks in 2016. He predictably flopped in 2017, recording just four takedowns and grading out as Pro Football Focus' seventh-worst 4-3 end out of 64 qualifiers. Branch is nothing more than a rotational piece.

Dolphins MLB Raekwon McMillan (knee) is expected to be ready for OTAs.

McMillan, the No. 54 overall pick in last year's draft, missed his entire rookie season after tearing his ACL in the preseason opener. He was expected to be the team's starting middle linebacker. Instead, Miami had to turn to washed-up Rey Maualuga and unproven Mike Hull. The two rarely saw the field, with the Dolphins instead playing Kiko Alonso and Lawrence Timmons on every snap.

Dolphins CB Tony Lippett (Achilles') is expected to be ready for OTAs.

Lippett went down in mid-August. The 2015 fifth-rounder was a 13-game starter in 2016, picking off four passes. He flashed upside but was inconsistent. Going on 26, Lippett will initially try to fight his way back as a reserve.
